    • Seems Very Nice
Style: No. 3
One cannot beat the price, and from a reputable Name. Yes it needs a little tweeking to be in top form. But once there, One has a quality tool that they can use every day, and hand it down. I own a sizable collection of various planes, and this one fits right in with the great ones. Want a good plane, for a crazy low price , grab it, make required adjustments, and learn how to use it properly. You will be glad you own it ! ... show more

    • Good but with a key error

Overall, this might be good to learn to fettle a plane or if you already know how. A true beginner might be very frustrated with this tool. For the price, it is a good value as long as you know what you are getting into. I have to commend S&J for making a number 3 at this price, and compared to any other source of number 3 planes, this is a tremendous deal. After many months, still there it is at a great price, it is a great thing that S&J even offer it. But there were some quality control issues that could trip up a beginner. The casting was dead flat on the sole and perfectly square on both sides. This was excellent. It is a thick casting that feels very solid. The chip breaker is on the cheap side, just a slab of metal, but not too bad and doesn't need to be fancy to work. The blade and chipbreaker were ground well enough and didn't require much to make perfectly flat. The chipbreaker did have a rounded edge I didn't like, so I spent 30 min turning that into a bevel-type edge and ensuring it was flat against the blade. After using, I think the iron quality is basically fine, no obvious issues there. The wheel mechanism is OK, better than some other cheapo models. It is smooth, but it does have some slop. The pressed metal piece that links with the blade itself to advance it was too loose against its mounting pin. So I hammered a nail to remove that cross pin from the frog, and then hammered the eyelet openings the pin runs through to smush them a bit and make the fit tighter. No more slop there. The frog is the big problem. Mine had a casting that wasn't properly milled, as the factory left a wad of iron next to the screw hole that interfered with the screw height. It raised the screw head against the blade until it made the blade ride above the frog bed! (My photo shows the location...like a blob of iron that was not milled out.) I used a drill and a thin HSS chisel to gouge that blob of iron out so that the blade would seat properly. A normal person would send it back rather than do this. There were also some small chips on the edges of the frog bed casting, but nothing that affects performance. The mouth had some extra iron near a corner that needed very careful filing out for the blade to seat properly on the mouth. The mouth is pretty open for a smoother, so I bought a thicker iron that's in the mail now. I used a hand file to go over the frog bed and other parts that needed to be flat. Overall except for the big stupid errors, the castings of the frog and body are quite good, if that makes sense...and especially compared to other planes in its class. It's as if nobody checked this one, quite strange. The handle will need some TLC to get it more comfortable. It's a nice wood and not sloppy at all but truly needs reshaping with files because some edges bit into the palm too much. After spending an afternoon getting everything as tuned as I could, I got decent 2-2.5 thou shavings and pretty good performance. I still think there's more fine tuning possible based on the results I'm getting so far. It doesn't feel as smooth as an old stanley 4, but I hope I can improve that. Overall, I'm happy to have a no 3 size for the price, and I'm treating it like a thrift store find, so I'm happy to put in work as its own project. In truth, nobody needs a number 3, so most people will regard this as a side project. For that, it is rewarding. I do wish the S&J markings were more than a light little etch on the side. But that's just me. A stamp on the iron would be a nice touch, for instance. A proper chipbreaker would also be fitting. Edit: Months later it is working flawless, the blade has held up well, I get full width shavings and it is really nice to use. The number 3 size is thinner and lighter than most similar smoothers, so I like to have it nearby. Also I see I am listed as Vine Voice. I just joined this week and bought this plane months ago with my own money. Just FYI. ... show more

    • Overall good quality, requires some fine tuning like all modern cheap hand planes do.
Style: No. 3
For the price its fantastic I paid $21.76 including tax and shipping! I have been experimenting with these modern hand planes from India under various names Grizzly, Draper and Spear & Jackson. I think there is a larger degree of variability with many of these planes from India, some are better machined and made and require a little less work. This plane by S & J was one such plane? It required the least amount of work out the 3 recent planes I have gotten. They all require flattening the sole and this was no exception just that it was closer to flat to start with. The blade and chipbreaker weren't bad either and was able to flatten and sharpen them in short order. I did not check the side squareness to sole since I had not planned on using it on a shooting board. The handles were nicely finished a bit more like the handles from Grizzly they were nicely shaped and finished with only like light oil or wax finish which is the way I prefer them, you can actually feel the wood this way. I had to fuss with the plane a little to get the blade and mouth adjusted properly but then it would take nice shavings, I may convert the plane into a scrub plane with a convex sharpening of blade? Overall very worthwhile plane! and I might look and see about ordering other sizes of S&J? ... show more

I had to do some flattening of the sole, maybe 10 minutes,expected it to be MUCH worse than it was, for the price... The blade was not sharp enough, but again that is to be expected with any plane. Took maybe 5 minutes to flatten, and get "sharp enough", maybe another 5 or 10 minutes to get it "smoothing plane sharp". The tote (rear handle) was a bit too small for my hand to manage a proper "three finger grip" (I think I watch too many woodworking shows on YouTube) but average sized people should have no issues. I happened to have a tote that offered better clearance, as I saw no reason to send back an otherwise good, rather pleasant to use smoothing plane. Would I recommend it over a Lie Nielsen, Veritas, or similar plane? Well, that depends. If you have $400 to spend on a plane that only gets used to smooth out the chatter marks from a power surface planer (which I do not own, or desire) or after the fore plane, scrub plane and jack plane have already done the bulk of the work, well, go ahead and spend that money. As for me, I would not hesitate to buy more planes from Spear & Jackson, before committing a paycheck to those "high end" planes. Update: after further use, I still have nothing really negative to say about this plane. I believe I mentioned the tote being a problem for my large hands, which was an easy fix. ... show more
